The total fertility rate in the United States has hit its lowest mark in approximately a century, reports claim.
“The fertility rate in the United States has been trending down for decades, and a new report shows that another drop in births in 2023 brought the rate down to the lowest it’s been in more than a century,” CNN stated.

The report stems from provisional data released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics.
“Last year’s total of new births adds up to a rate of 1,616.5 births per 1,000 women in the U.S. This figure, called the total fertility rate, calculates the average number of births that women will have over their lifetimes if current rates stay the same,” CBS News wrote.
“The provisional number of births for the United States in 2023 was 3,591,328, down 2% from 2022. The
general fertility rate was 54.4 births per 1,000 females ages 15–44, down 3% from 2022. The total fertility rate was
1,616.5 births per 1,000 women in 2023, a decline of 2% from 2022,” the CDC report read.

Musk has previously warned about population collapse, saying it’s one of the biggest threats to human civilization.

Per CNN:
There were about 3.6 million babies born in 2023, or 54.4 live births for every 1,000 females ages 15 to 44, according to provisional data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics.
After a steep plunge in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, the fertility rate has fluctuated. But the 3% drop between 2022 and 2023 brought the rate just below the previous low from 2020, which was 56 births for every 1,000 women of reproductive age.
“We’ve certainly had larger declines in the past. But decline fits the general pattern,” said Dr. Brady Hamilton, a statistician with the National Center for Health Statistics and lead author of the new report.
The birth rate fell among most age groups between 2022 and 2023, the new report shows.
The teen birth rate reached another record low of 13.2 births per 1,000 females ages 15 to 19, which is 79% lower than it was at the most recent peak from 1991. However, the rate of decline was slower than it’s been for the past decade and a half.

The most subversive, anti globalist thing that you as an American can do is marry and have a house full of kids.
Raise them with faith, values and keep them away from Hillary’s globalist ‘village’.
Neither participate nor comply with PP’s agenda of human genocide.
Just say no. https://t.co/PwSMbVQklH— Sloane (@OC_Expat) April 25, 2024
CBS News reports:
Unless the U.S. reaches 2,100 births per 1,000 — which works out to an average of 2.1 children per woman — the total population could shrink without other influxes of people. U.S. Census Bureau estimates have chalked up recent population growth to rebounding immigration and a drop in deaths.
The U.S. total fertility rate has been below what is needed to replace deaths of previous generations since 1971.
“Think about that in terms of the woman and her partner. So if you have a total fertility rate of two, you’re replacing him and you’re replacing her in the population. It has to be 2.1 to compensate for mortality,” said Hamilton.
The number of new births in 2023 was flat or declined from 2022 for most groups except Hispanic women, who saw an increase of 1%.
